The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

What the hell was happening in Australia in the 80s that the government felt the need to put out a massive campaign to convince the public to do something. T-shirt printing? Cross country skiing? Sit down? Do some knitting? What the gently caress? We're people just sitting around staring at the wall for 16 hours a day? No wait they had to have been standing because they specifically advise people to sit down in the ad.

Obesity. The main character throughout the ad campaign was Norm, a fat prick who ate & drank too much

If I remember right, the cartoon also had a bunch of native Australian animals as The Ferals' country cousins or some such.

I think they were the baddies, but I may be misremembering.

The Ferals gave me nightmares as a wee lil kid, and then a few years later I had flipped around and I adored them. They're so loving awesome. I think they were my first real experience with characters who were just mean to each other and I felt that.
